Centennial Olympic Park
A legacy park from the 1996 Olympic Games, with the Olympic Rings fountain at its center and major downtown venues nearby.
This park of about 8.5 hectares was built for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and was the central gathering square for spectators at the time. In summer, children splash in the Olympic Rings fountain, which also puts on timed music and water shows. Within a few minutes' walk of the park are the World of Coca-Cola, the Aquarium, the Center for Civil and Human Rights, the College Football Hall of Fame, and the SkyView Atlanta Ferris wheel. It is a good starting point for a day in downtown. Entry is free. It is quieter at night, so go with a companion.
